Most people have never heard of panhypopituitarism. For Nancy Hill, it's been a part of her life since she was ten days old.
BORN TO FLOURISH is an honest and inspiring memoir based on Nancy Hill's experience with the rare disease called panhypopituitarism.
If you don't know about panhypopituitarism, it is a rare disease that affects the pituitary gland in your brain. The pituitary gland is the master gland in our body. It controls all the major organs, including the adrenal glands and the thyroid gland, and regulates the production of growth hormone and male and female hormones, among other functions.
Without a functioning pituitary gland, Nancy's body cannot survive without lifesaving medication. As you will learn from Born to Flourish, Nancy experienced numerous ups and downs, one of which was a near-death experience that eventually led her to take control of her life and learn as much as she could about panhypopituitarism.
Over the last ten years, Nancy has built a community with over 700 members who were born with or acquired panhypopituitarism at a young age.
Born to Flourish isn't just a story about Nancy's life; it shows how resilient she became, no matter how many times life knocked her down.
Nancy's story shows that even with lifelong challenges, it's possible to rewrite your narrative and find meaning, purpose, and strength.
This memoir is filled with moments of vulnerability, courage, and growth-and offers hope to anyone living with a rare disease or navigating life's unexpected challenges.
